Religion, Bollywood, Cricket are three categories that have the potential to spread like wild fire on the social media. How can a religious group target new audiences and attract them to an event? A cult's philosophy can be given an effective platform on the social media. We ideated this module specially for cults who wish to make most of the digital & social media to spread the word about the philosopy. I would be happy to discuss this on amarkant.jain@gmail.com
